Amazon.co.uk Review Here's a challenge: name one action blockbuster trilogy of the last ten years that's come close to matching the thrills and spills of the Bourne movies. Because this reviewer, and many others, can't. There's nothing that runs it even remotely close. And it's ironic too, given that the franchise kicked off with its weakest instalment. The Bourne Identity finds the title character (played by Matt Damon) without knowledge of who he is, yet with a whole host of deadly skills, and for two thirds of its running time is a strong and enjoyable action thriller. A muddled last act spoils it slightly, but fortunately, it brought in enough to convince the studio to pony up for a sequel. What a sequel it is, too. The Bourne Supremacy is an electric, pulse-pounding second episode, as Bourne this time is forced to confront his identity issues again, after being framed for a murder he didn't commit. It's a compulsive game of cat and mouse with some superb moments, and it leaves you salivating for the concluding chapter. That came in the shape of The Bourne Ultimatum, and this proves not only to be a terrific ending to the franchise, it's also the best of the three films. The word relentless barely does it justice, but in terms of direction, staging and draw, it simply has had no big screen blockbuster equal in some years. The end result is a trilogy that diligently tells a well-structured story, and injects it with fascinating characters, amazing set pieces and immense rewatch value. The Ultimate Bourne Collection simply demands to be seen and rewarded. And a fourth chapter wouldn't do any harm, either

Suspense, and suspension of disbelief August 29, 2010 Fred (Oxford, England) I'm not sure what is 'ultimate' about it, there aren't a lot of extras, but this is a nice cheap box set of all three of the wonderful 'Bourne' saga movies.All are very watchful, exciting, and extremely well done, by Matt Damon in particular. Their greatest achievement is the way in which they achieve what Coleridge called 'suspension of disbelief'. The plots are completely preposterous, but sufficiently realistic, and well worked out at a cracking pace, so that you don't mind the absurdities and are willing to take them at face value while you watch. This is crucial - many of the James Bond movies, particularly the Roger Moore ones, lost this essential aspect and became merely silly.
Definitely worth a look! August 17, 2010 Claire I'm not much of an action fan but I found the Bourne series extremely compelling! As soon as each film ended I couldn't wait to watch the next one.
Unlike some other action heroes Matt Damon's character doesn't have a different girl in every port, and is able to portray a deadly assassin with a great of sympathy and, at times, compassion.
This is a great series of films and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a good adventure and characters with a bit of depth :)
Ultimate Bourne Collection August 7, 2010 Torpelian 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
Good series except the third episode was not as good as first 2.
Prompt dselivery of boxed set and met all descriptions of excellent condition.
Superb movies! July 28, 2010 Navid (Manchester, UK) Ever since The Bourne Identity came out I've been absolutely obsessed with this whole franchise. All three of these movies are the best ever made in the genre without a doubt. The realism and quality they've achieved just makes James Bond look ludicrously horrendous! And at this price it's the bargain of the century! Trust me you will never get bored of watching it over and over again!
The Ultimate Bourne Collection Boxset (DVD) (2007) July 8, 2010 DD All the bourne films are great have lost count the amount of times we have watched them they are that sort of film you can watch them over and over.
